Quoting Michael Loo to Ruth Haffly on 08-16-18 13:10 <=-

Antiques Roadshow, I thought locally produced
either by WENH or WGBH, that I can't find mention
of on the all-knowing Internet. It was hosted by a
tagteam of an avuncular Captain Kangaroolike antique
dealer and a TV pro of the cute giggly girl type.

With hosts like that, I'd turn the show off fast. Did see a short
article in one of the recent back papers that some picker found the
original Aerosmith tour van. Not into that group but somebody may make a
lot of money with it.

It was no worse than any other kind of TV host
combination. Captain Antiquariangaroo was actually
kind of witty. Now that I think of it, the
hostess was named Dana something - the first time
I recall ever encountering that as a female name.

The organ builder/restorer that restored the Hook and Hook tracker organ
our church bought (at our old location, and with lots of grunt help from
some of us), was named Dana Hull... very much female... ;) That was the
first time I encountered it as a female name... :)

That would bore me silly. Of course, many are
not captivated by some fat bald guy eating
strange stuff on the air.

I'd rather watch the former than the latter. I've seen a few "Picker" shows--they can turn up some of the oddest things in the least likely places..................

For me the fat guy wins every time, though what he
represents as odd sometimes I see as commonplace.

Well, you have had a wider experience than most... ;)

we can do a taste test at the picnic if I can find a can of it.

If you mean Read's German Potato Salad, that's readily available at Wegmans... :)

Michael nixed the idea of a taste off at the picnic. I understand, as
I'd rather have the home made over the canned. I knew it was Read's but
just blanked on the spelling. Had gotten some Reid's cinnamon life
savers a couple of days before....................

If anyone else wants to invest the buck or two
for a can, far be it from me to discourage its
opening. Far be it from me to encourage such
irresponsible behavior, either.

Along the same lines as the occasionally threatened opening of a can of
LaChoy chop suey...? (G)
